This model considers two components/parts that are functionally interchangeable but purchased from suppliers with different prices and quality characteristics. Because of the buyer's quality preference and suppliers' discount rates for bulky purchases, the model assists the procurement manager to determine how best to purchase the components/parts to meet its demand while minimizing the total acquisition costs.展开更多

The car industry will soon become a pillar industry in Shanghai. During its development, the Shanghai car industry has always given special attention to localization, thus the localization rate of car parts and components has increased year by year. In 1988, Shanghai Santanacars produced 15,000 units, with 13,08 percent of展开更多
